SOME THINGS OF INTEREST

I was having a 'computer fit' for about 10 days--
just could not get it to download my blog sites or anything much-
Went to my daughter's for supper last Thursday night and she hands me this box--

and I am sure you can guess what was in it!!
a brand new computer--with windows 10--
so I have still been having some computer 'fits'--
but nice ones, trying to learn my way around everything and
to get my files transferred to the new one!!

I have started hand quilting on a new quilt--

and am using these 2 stencils-

the stencil on the left is for the center 9 patch and the 4 corners--
the other stencil on the right side is for the other 4,  9 patches around the other  one--
welllllll--
so far I have had to redo the center one cause I counted out the 9 patch wrong--
and--and--
I have had to restitch the other one at different locations on the quilt about 3 times, cause again
I counted the 9 patch wrong and would end up with only a 6 patch beside it one side and a 10 patch on the other side!!! hummmm????

and I finally got the iron on interfacing for the centers of these blocks and got them prepped for stitching-
there is 20 blocks in this series--
I got this pattern a few years ago on a shop hop and went right home and made up the blocks using
30's prints and even got the baskets traced on them and then they sat and sat--
I figure if I can get one stitched per week--that I just might get them done this year--
there is alot of stitching on each one--
but so far I am already behind--this is all I got done last week!!!!

Still out each day taking photos and having lunch on the dock--
( we did not get any of the Tropical storm Colin here--just a small bit of rain!!)

This is Mrs Rocky--she usually comes out each day when I am down there for old bread that another tenant feeds her--she has a least 3 babies she is feeding too--she is so sweet!!!
love and laughter, di
